Tubing is a traumatic activity, so it is important to follow safety precautions. Traumatologists Sergei Dedov and Artem Katulin spoke about it in an interview with RT.
According to Dedov, you can protect yourself with a fur hat, gloves and a dense outfit. This will allow you to soften the blow in case of something. During a fall you need to regroup and not stretch your arms as this is fraught with fractures.
Katulin added that due to the inability to group together, many are injured while tubing.
Experts have called on people to only ride where it is allowed.
Earlier in Moscow, a 15-year-old crashed to death while riding a tube from an unequipped slope.
